Public outcry is growing in the US at emergency services' seeming policy of standing by while houses burn down and people drown, if services have not been previously paid for. ­A spate of real-life incidents has sparked concern over what kind of society America is becoming. The recent series of shocking accidents forced homeowners in one of the counties to watch as their houses and possessions burned to the ground. And the firefighters were right there watching, as well. All because the owners didn't pay the US$75 "fire subscription fee", known as the "pay for spray" charge. In the US, fire policy varies from state to state, and from county to county.

In this week's Hello America the answer to advocate Raja Abid Hussein's fifth and last question is included. This question is about the provisions in the US law to avoid the frivolous litigation as it wastes valuable time and resources of the court. Director of the civil litigation clinic at the GW law school, ProfessorJoan H Strand, in answer to the above question elaborates on few of the most effective ways in the law to block the way of such litigation. One such way is the court rule through which the prosecuting party filing the frivolous suit can be made to pay the attorney's fee of the defending party.

This week Craig Benzine is going to talk about the structure of the U.S. court system and how exactly it manages to keep things moving smoothly. We’’ll talk about trial courts, district courts, appeals courts, circuit courts, state supreme courts, and of course the one at the top - the U.S.Supreme Court. It’s all quite a bit to manage with jurisdictions and such, but it's important to remember that the vast majority of cases never even make it to court! Most are settled out of court, but also terms like mootness and ripeness are used to throw cases out altogether. Today, we're going to focus on how cases make it to the top, and next week we’ll talk about what happens when they get there.

The infamous McDonald’s “Hot Coffee” legal battle is considered by many to be a premier example of a frivolous lawsuit. The general story is often told that a woman named Stella Liebeck visited a McDonald’s drive-thru and purchased a cup of coffee. She then drove away with the coffee sitting between her legs while also removing the lid. That combination caused coffee to spill all over her lap. The resulting burns allowed her to file suit and win almost $3 million from McDonald’s.

Adam Ruins Everything - The Truth About the McDonald's Coffee Lawsuit

published:16 Dec 2016

views:614074

The government shutdown is official the longest on record, and as a result, novel legal challenges are being filed against the practice of forcing federal employees to work without a regular paycheck. If any of them succeed, it could change the way the next government shutdown plays out.
American consumers could lose faith in the economy if federal workers don't go back to work soon, Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned Friday.
"If this drags on into February, March, then growth rates are going to fall to a place where unemployment will start to rise," Zandi said in a CNBC interview. "That's fodder for recession."
Shortly after Zandi's appearance on "Squawk Box," the University of Michigan said its preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for January showed a drop to its weakest level since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016.
Zandi said the economy was looking "wobbly" heading into the new year even before the start of the partial government shutdown, the longest on record, which on Friday entered Day 28.
"If you go back a year ago, GDP growth was closer to 4 percent. That was all juiced up by the deficit-financed tax cuts," he said. "Now we're down to about 2 [percent.] And if the shutdown drags on we'll probably go below 2 [percent.] And that's a key threshold."
The economic drag from a shutdown lasting until the end of the first quarter could be as much as 0.5 percent, Zandi estimated, though he hopes President Donald Trump and Democrats can resolve their funding differences and send the 800,000 federal employees back to work.

Oct. 30, 2014 (Mimesis Law) -- Ralph Sutton, Chief Investment Officer at Bentham IMF, talks with Lee Pacchia about the business of funding small to medium-sized plaintiffs in commercial and patent litigation around the world. After launching in Australia 13 years ago, the firm has grown quickly and expanded to Europe and the United States. Sutton sees the United States as a particularly attractive market in part because litigation costs have risen so much over the last couple of decades that most plaintiffs are simply priced out of the American judicial system. "The world has shifted so radically to make the expense of litigation so overwhelming that the system really doesn't work for most of the country," he says. Not everyone shares his point of view. Sutton notes that the US Chamber of Commerce and affiliated corporations stand as major challenges to the growth of the litigation funding industry. "They are introducing amendments to rules and potentially even legislation to limit the growth of the industry," he says. "You would hope that the US Chamber of Commerce would see that small and medium-sized businesses are part of their constituency and they don't seem to do that, unfortunately."

In this exciting episode of Litigation Whiteboard® AttorneySteve® provides a basic over of the litigation process (focusing on California law), and discussing the general steps of litigation and the three main phases of a state or federal court lawsuit.

1. Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR")
2. Demand letters (you do not always need to send them, but in some cases you DO, One example is the CaliforniaLegalRemedies Act ("CLRA") where you must send an initial "notice of cure" letter, and if not, you may not be able to seek your attorney fees.

Crash Course

Plot

Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.

The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

Crash Course (YouTube)

Crash Course (sometimes stylized as CrashCourse) is an educational YouTube channel started by the Green brothers, Hank Green and John Green, who are notable for their VlogBrothers channel. Originally, John and Hank presented humanities and science courses to viewers, respectively, although the series has since expanded to incorporate courses by additional hosts.

Crash Course was one of the 100 initial channels of YouTube's $100 million original channel initiative. Crash Course launched a preview on December 2, 2011. As of February 14, 2016, the Crash Course YouTube channel has gotten 3,947,842 subscribers and has received over 300 million video views. In November 2014, Hank Green announced that a partnership with PBS Digital Studios would allow them to produce more courses, starting in January 2015.

Currently there are fourteen seasons of Crash Course, with Hank and John each hosting five. Together with Emily Graslie, they co-hosted Big History. As part of the PBS partnership, Phil Plait and Craig Benzine have hosted series about Astronomy and U.S. Government and Politics, respectively. A second channel, Crash Course Kids, is hosted by Sabrina Cruz and has started its first series, Science.

Fox News (1919–1930)

Fox News (1919–1930)Fox News was the original newsreel established by movie mogul, William Fox. It was eventually replaced by Fox's pioneering sound newsreel, Fox Movietone News, which began regular operations in December 1927.

William Fox had great ambitions for his newsreel from the very beginning; he even managed to secure a letter from President Woodrow Wilson endorsing his newsreel. At its launch in 1919, Fox had already secured a network of cameramen spanning the globe. Although the newsreel began acquiring stories in August 1919, the newsreel did not begin a regular, twice-weekly release until October 1919. From the beginnings of its operations Fox News' main domestic rivals were Hearst News, Pathé News, International News and Kinograms.

When Fox Films ceased production of Fox News, the extensive library of unused and outtake film was folded into the Fox Movietone News library and was used internally as stock footage by Fox Films and 20th Century Fox until the corporation ceased production of Fox Movietone News in 1963.

In 2006, he released his debut solo album The Truth. The album included the single, "So Exclusive" featuring R&B singer, Johnny P.

In October 2007, Smith pled guilty in a plea bargain to the shooting death of Raymond "B-Dog" Pinkston and was sentenced to 10 years in prison of which he served 5 years. Smith continues to maintain that he shot Pinkston in self defense, however after a 6 year long court battle Smith agreed to the plea bargain.

Reception

The Truth entered the Billboard Chart at No. 48 (with 17,000 copies sold in its first week) making it the highest charting release by the band to date. It has gone on to sell more than 250,000 copies since its release.

Although it received mostly mixed reviews, Billboard magazine called The Truth "one of the four most important hard rock albums of 2006."

The Complete Truth

A special edition entitled "The Complete Truth" was released on July 15 of 2008. The band penned a guest blog on the Headbanger's Blog and commented on the release:

The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)

The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) is the fifth studio album by the American nu metal band Limp Bizkit. Released in 2005, it is the first release by the band to feature guitarist Wes Borland since he rejoined the group. He had left the band in 2001, and their previous album Results May Vary, was recorded without him. Drummer John Otto was absent for much of the album, and Sammy Siegler took over drumming duties for the band.

The album differs from the band's established sound and lyrical subject matter by focusing on darker subjects and featuring a more experimental sound. The album's lyrics focus on subjects such as propaganda, Catholic sex abuse cases, terrorism and fame. Released without advertising and promotion, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) sold 37,000 copies during its first week in the United States, peaking at No. 24 on the Billboard200. Reviews were mixed, but Borland's return to the band was praised, as was the new musical direction, which was considered to be ambitious.

How This Investment Firm Hopes to Revolutionize Litigation in America

How This Investment Firm Hopes to Revolutionize Litigation in America

How This Investment Firm Hopes to Revolutionize Litigation in America

Oct. 30, 2014 (Mimesis Law) -- Ralph Sutton, Chief Investment Officer at Bentham IMF, talks with Lee Pacchia about the business of funding small to medium-sized plaintiffs in commercial and patent litigation around the world. After launching in Australia 13 years ago, the firm has grown quickly and expanded to Europe and the United States. Sutton sees the United States as a particularly attractive market in part because litigation costs have risen so much over the last couple of decades that most plaintiffs are simply priced out of the American judicial system. "The world has shifted so radically to make the expense of litigation so overwhelming that the system really doesn't work for most of the country," he says. Not everyone shares his point of view. Sutton notes that the US Chamber of Commerce and affiliated corporations stand as major challenges to the growth of the litigation funding industry. "They are introducing amendments to rules and potentially even legislation to limit the growth of the industry," he says. "You would hope that the US Chamber of Commerce would see that small and medium-sized businesses are part of their constituency and they don't seem to do that, unfortunately."

Legal System Basics: Crash Course Government and Politics #18

This week Craig Benzine takes a first look at the judicial branch. It's pretty easy to forget that the courts, and the laws that come out of them, affect our lives on a daily basis. But how exactly these decisions are made and where each law's jurisdiction starts and ends can get pretty complicated. So complicated in fact that you may want to smash something. But don't worry, Craig will clear the way.

Lost in Litigation: Sue or survive in America

Public outcry is growing in the US at emergency services' seeming policy of standing by while houses burn down and people drown, if services have not been previously paid for. ­A spate of real-life incidents has sparked concern over what kind of society America is becoming. The recent series of shocking accidents forced homeowners in one of the counties to watch as their houses and possessions burned to the ground. And the firefighters were right there watching, as well. All because the owners didn't pay the US$75 "fire subscription fee", known as the "pay for spray" charge. In the US, fire policy varies from state to state, and from county to county.

Litigation And Legal Practice - The American Legal System (Episode 1)

Hello America Justice "frivolous litigation"

In this week's Hello America the answer to advocate Raja Abid Hussein's fifth and last question is included. This question is about the provisions in the US law to avoid the frivolous litigation as it wastes valuable time and resources of the court. Director of the civil litigation clinic at the GW law school, ProfessorJoan H Strand, in answer to the above question elaborates on few of the most effective ways in the law to block the way of such litigation. One such way is the court rule through which the prosecuting party filing the frivolous suit can be made to pay the attorney's fee of the defending party.

Structure of the Court System: Crash Course Government and Politics #19

This week Craig Benzine is going to talk about the structure of the U.S. court system and how exactly it manages to keep things moving smoothly. We’’ll talk about trial courts, district courts, appeals courts, circuit courts, state supreme courts, and of course the one at the top - the U.S.Supreme Court. It’s all quite a bit to manage with jurisdictions and such, but it's important to remember that the vast majority of cases never even make it to court! Most are settled out of court, but also terms like mootness and ripeness are used to throw cases out altogether. Today, we're going to focus on how cases make it to the top, and next week we’ll talk about what happens when they get there.

The Government Shutdown Faces Lawsuits Over 'Involuntary Servitude'

The government shutdown is official the longest on record, and as a result, novel legal challenges are being filed against the practice of forcing federal employees to work without a regular paycheck. If any of them succeed, it could change the way the next government shutdown plays out.
American consumers could lose faith in the economy if federal workers don't go back to work soon, Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned Friday.
"If this drags on into February, March, then growth rates are going to fall to a place where unemployment will start to rise," Zandi said in a CNBC interview. "That's fodder for recession."
Shortly after Zandi's appearance on "Squawk Box," the University of Michigan said its preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for January showed a drop to its...

The government shutdown is official the longest on record, and as a result, novel legal challenges are being filed against the practice of forcing federal employees to work without a regular paycheck. If any of them succeed, it could change the way the next government shutdown plays out.
American consumers could lose faith in the economy if federal workers don't go back to work soon, Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned Friday.
"If this drags on into February, March, then growth rates are going to fall to a place where unemployment will start to rise," Zandi said in a CNBC interview. "That's fodder for recession."
Shortly after Zandi's appearance on "Squawk Box," the University of Michigan said its preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for January showed a drop to its weakest level since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016.
Zandi said the economy was looking "wobbly" heading into the new year even before the start of the partial government shutdown, the longest on record, which on Friday entered Day 28.
"If you go back a year ago, GDP growth was closer to 4 percent. That was all juiced up by the deficit-financed tax cuts," he said. "Now we're down to about 2 [percent.] And if the shutdown drags on we'll probably go below 2 [percent.] And that's a key threshold."
The economic drag from a shutdown lasting until the end of the first quarter could be as much as 0.5 percent, Zandi estimated, though he hopes President Donald Trump and Democrats can resolve their funding differences and send the 800,000 federal employees back to work.

Oct. 30, 2014 (Mimesis Law) -- Ralph Sutton, Chief Investment Officer at Bentham IMF, talks with Lee Pacchia about the business of funding small to medium-sized plaintiffs in commercial and patent litigation around the world. After launching in Australia 13 years ago, the firm has grown quickly and expanded to Europe and the United States. Sutton sees the United States as a particularly attractive market in part because litigation costs have risen so much over the last couple of decades that most plaintiffs are simply priced out of the American judicial system. "The world has shifted so radically to make the expense of litigation so overwhelming that the system really doesn't work for most of the country," he says. Not everyone shares his point of view. Sutton notes that the US Chamber of Commerce and affiliated corporations stand as major challenges to the growth of the litigation funding industry. "They are introducing amendments to rules and potentially even legislation to limit the growth of the industry," he says. "You would hope that the US Chamber of Commerce would see that small and medium-sized businesses are part of their constituency and they don't seem to do that, unfortunately."

This week Craig Benzine takes a first look at the judicial branch. It's pretty easy to forget that the courts, and the laws that come out of them, affect our lives on a daily basis. But how exactly these decisions are made and where each law's jurisdiction starts and ends can get pretty complicated. So complicated in fact that you may want to smash something. But don't worry, Craig will clear the way.

Lost in Litigation: Sue or survive in America

Public outcry is growing in the US at emergency services' seeming policy of standing by while houses burn down and people drown, if services have not been previously paid for. ­A spate of real-life incidents has sparked concern over what kind of society America is becoming. The recent series of shocking accidents forced homeowners in one of the counties to watch as their houses and possessions burned to the ground. And the firefighters were right there watching, as well. All because the owners didn't pay the US$75 "fire subscription fee", known as the "pay for spray" charge. In the US, fire policy varies from state to state, and from county to county.

Hello America Justice "frivolous litigation"

In this week's Hello America the answer to advocate Raja Abid Hussein's fifth and last question is included. This question is about the provisions in the US law to avoid the frivolous litigation as it wastes valuable time and resources of the court. Director of the civil litigation clinic at the GW law school, ProfessorJoan H Strand, in answer to the above question elaborates on few of the most effective ways in the law to block the way of such litigation. One such way is the court rule through which the prosecuting party filing the frivolous suit can be made to pay the attorney's fee of the defending party.

Structure of the Court System: Crash Course Government and Politics #19

This week Craig Benzine is going to talk about the structure of the U.S. court system and how exactly it manages to keep things moving smoothly. We’’ll talk about trial courts, district courts, appeals courts, circuit courts, state supreme courts, and of course the one at the top - the U.S.Supreme Court. It’s all quite a bit to manage with jurisdictions and such, but it's important to remember that the vast majority of cases never even make it to court! Most are settled out of court, but also terms like mootness and ripeness are used to throw cases out altogether. Today, we're going to focus on how cases make it to the top, and next week we’ll talk about what happens when they get there.

In this video:
The infamous McDonald’s “Hot Coffee” legal battle is considered by many to be a premier example of a frivolous lawsuit. The general story is often told that a woman named Stella Liebeck visited a McDonald’s drive-thru and purchased a cup of coffee. She then drove away with the coffee sitting between her legs while also removing the lid. That combination caused coffee to spill all over her lap. The resulting burns allowed her to file suit and win almost $3 million from McDonald’s.

The Government Shutdown Faces Lawsuits Over 'Involuntary Servitude'

The government shutdown is official the longest on record, and as a result, novel legal challenges are being filed against the practice of forcing federal employees to work without a regular paycheck. If any of them succeed, it could change the way the next government shutdown plays out.
American consumers could lose faith in the economy if federal workers don't go back to work soon, Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned Friday.
"If this drags on into February, March, then growth rates are going to fall to a place where unemployment will start to rise," Zandi said in a CNBC interview. "That's fodder for recession."
Shortly after Zandi's appearance on "Squawk Box," the University of Michigan said its preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for January showed a drop to its weakest level since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016.
Zandi said the economy was looking "wobbly" heading into the new year even before the start of the partial government shutdown, the longest on record, which on Friday entered Day 28.
"If you go back a year ago, GDP growth was closer to 4 percent. That was all juiced up by the deficit-financed tax cuts," he said. "Now we're down to about 2 [percent.] And if the shutdown drags on we'll probably go below 2 [percent.] And that's a key threshold."
The economic drag from a shutdown lasting until the end of the first quarter could be as much as 0.5 percent, Zandi estimated, though he hopes President Donald Trump and Democrats can resolve their funding differences and send the 800,000 federal employees back to work.

Legal System Basics: Crash Course Government and Politics #18

This week Craig Benzine takes a first look at the judicial branch. It's pretty easy to forget that the courts, and the laws that come out of them, affect our lives on a daily basis. But how exactly these decisions are made and where each law's jurisdiction starts and ends can get pretty complicated. So complicated in fact that you may want to smash something. But don't worry, Craig will clear the way.

Crash Course

Plot

Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.

The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.
